The Puma Hunter's Pal on the right I bought in 1976 when I was 16. I have used this knife on all the deer I have shot. Also while I was a shepherd I used it for killing and processing all the sheep for our house and my two bosses houses plus my dog tucker. It would amount to between 2000 and 3000 sheep. The knife on the left is an old but never used Hunter's Pal that I was given for my 65th birthday.

Plenty of life left in both.
